  1. Interesting. Lots of opinions but then what else is new.
  2. Ramrod: That kind of avoids the question. Can you be more specific? Wild Bunch has adapted quite a bit over the last 15 years or so. All in keeping with the idea of attempting to make it enjoyable and yet different than CAS which has adapted significantly in its 40+ year history. I have a video of EOT from 1992 and its unrecognizable with what is shot today. I'm not shooting much anymore but I do feel a real answer to the question asked is reasonable.
  3. That has been the issue forever. When you have an event that is designed to be competitive but is also designed to be entertainment (Cowboy Renaissance Festival for all intents) you're going to get a lot of different skill sets and that isn't going to change nor should it. We are the only shooting sport that doesn't have qualification rounds to get to the National or World level. It's been that way since the beginning. That's why it's important to have qualified RO's and at the same time not whine about SDQ's because they are going to happen.
  4. Swedish Mauser for sale $650
  5. We didn't post the scores for the Teddy R and Doughboy. Just the winners - this is because we can't score it as a mini match - no room.
  6. I tend to agree with August. We CANNOT KNOW the shooter's intention and since there is no order , a miss. Definitely possible that he was goin outside in , outside (miss but some pellets hit inside target) and then inside.
  7. I think that I mentioned if we could get 150+ shooters we could PROBABLY make 10 posses and so then we could do 6 stages a day for 12 stages. The time take would end up the same with less standing around but still have enough folks to run a posse.
  8. I need to confirm where we are at for OVERALL scoring. 2017 EOT had a real problem . We thought we solved it at Winter Range in 2018 but I saw some emails afterwards that tabled the action. So my question is - Do we break out gender for Overall Scoring or not. I want to make sure that EVERYONE knows our position before the start of Winter Range Thank You
  9. Right now we are prevented from changing the system until the Wild Bunch (not the committee) makes a decision.
  10. The primary advantage of the striker fired polymer guns that are so prevalent these days is simplicity. No de-cocker, no thumb safety just point and shoot which is why police depts replaced their revolvers with these types. Lots to choose from. I like the M&Ps and have a couple, I've owned Glocks - solid but felt like bricks. I'd look at Walter PPQ's as they are great ergonomic guns, The Springfield XDM's are good but the bore axis is a bit high. Thing to do is visit and handle as many of the 9mm's in the category and see what feels right and points the most naturally in YOUR hand. Some brands have some customization capability by swapping out the back-strap with smaller or larger pieces.
  11. Yep - you know the one with SEVEN HUNDRED PLUS shooters.
  12. If you plan to do both then there are a lot choices. The Colt would work BUT you are paying premium for the name. Personally if $1400 were my budget. I'd purchase a separate gun for each. Spend say $800 for a Springfield Range Officer if shooting Modern class Wild Bunch and $500 for a Glock or S&W M&P for 3 gun.
  13. If you go to http://winterrange.com/wild%20bunch.html you will see the round count there.
  14. The Rules changes are in effect at Winter Range and the link has been posted on the web site. Round count for the WB Main Match is 308 pistol 59 rifle 48 shotgun
  15. First 3-4 minutes are great
